Hi, I'm Melissa, a photographer and brand content creator based in Wv. So glad you're here.

The Woman’s Club of Charleston is such a forgotten gem when it comes to Wedding Venues. It is so cute and quiet, the perfect spot for a small wedding amid a pandemic.
Brooke and Jordan came so prepared for their wedding. They had a table for guests to have their own masks and hand sanitizer to ensure the safety of others during their celebration. That was their first and foremost concern; so incredibly kind of them.
The best part of the day is the fact these two opted to have a first look, which makes my heart extremely happy! Why do I love first looks so much? First looks allow for additional portrait time. The first look alleviates the worry of keeping your guests waiting. You don’t have to stress about arriving at the reception as quickly as possible, and you can enjoy the one on one time together. You can snuggle up to one another and focus on all the beautiful photos that will one day end up on your wall.
These two will have plenty to enjoy, I am sure. Brooke and Jordan’s wedding collection has more portraits then I have taken at any wedding this year. I had so many portraits, I had to pick and choose which to post on the blog. I didn’t want them sitting waiting for a preview for several weeks as I sort through them! So don’t be fooled by what I posted, there are plenty more gorgeous photos they will enjoy during their reveal, once the wedding is completed. 🙂
So I won’t keep you waiting any longer! I hope you enjoy these beautiful photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

Behind the Camera

MELISSA
KINCAID

I've always been drawn to things that feel timeless — beautiful in a way that doesn't fade. That's how I approach weddings, too.
I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm paying attention to the moments as they're happening and capturing them in a way that feels real, natural, and true to you.
I've been doing this for over a decade, and what still drives me is the same thing that started it all — a genuine love for people and the stories they carry. My work has been featured in Magnolia Rouge, Cake & Lace, and other fine publications, but my favorite measure of success is still a bride who says she forgot I was even there.
Based in Charleston, West Virginia, I photograph weddings across WV, Virginia, and destinations worldwide — and I'd love to be part of yours.
